Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Plan A, Pacquiao is Ready To Go

[Burat Mo]

I know Arum is true on what he says, but if you can't make the fight cause Floyd doesn't want it and only bluffing please give us at least Bradley and not Cotto. Please look after the fans because without the fans boxing is nothing.

First, Mayweather can announce his representative for negotiations instead of barking behind a digital fence to save face. That is what the other side is asking for. It isn't much to ask for.

Arum is asking Floyd to go back to the judge and ask for another extension on his jail dead-line. Playing mind-games, Arum even said he would help Floyd with his legal fees if need be lol. Floyd is the one who benefits the most if this fight happens on May 5th, this is why Arum refuses to give in. One side is always waiting for the other to give in, but their egos are huge. This is why this fight will never happen, because both feel as if they are bigger than the sport of boxing. Arum has even said so himself that his ultimate goal was for Pacquiao to transcend boxing. At this point, it doesn't matter who Pac fights, because it will sell each and every time. Pac doesn't need Floyd, it's the other way around now. However, they think Floyd is desperate enough to simply give in, which certainly isn't going to happen.

Right, and they are also asking for a different date than what Mayweather intended, in a different arena, and may not be available til June, and blah blah blah. We are all tired of hearing this and that, we know excuses when we hear them, and it sounds like even Pacquiao supporters are starting to realize Arum is full of it. So you stay behind your digital fence and keep talking, but we know the truth.

They say late May, before Floyd gets to have fun with his inmates in prison. Floyd is his own boss, so he can make it happen if he's serious about fighting Pacquiao. The political ball is now in Floyd's court and you know it.

It's you with selective memory. Top Rank didn't send the letter of denial. Oops you left that out.

Lol give it up, we will never know how good your beloved Pacquiao is because he won't fight the best competition available, even when it's sitting right in front of him. So keep living behind Top Rank and Arum, see where it gets you. Eventually you will realize it's a big sham.

bob arum's scumbag..... nobody's listening to that forked tongue cretin no matter how many of his personal fluffers he has writing these threads.

Well, that genius PAC-BOY is

*******s are " special "..... especially the REALLY dumb ones

Lol so if you were Mayweather's camp and promoter, would you have made those fights? No, because it's a smart business move not to, why risk it when you can make money on almost guaranteed victories. It's exactly like how Pacquiao, Arum, and company are now with the Money fight. They know everyone wants it, but they aren't going to do it because it isn't a smart business move to put the cash cow of the promotion up for potential slaughter.

Instead of focusing on Floyd's actions outside the ring, worry about his boxing and style in it. That's the reason Arum isn't interested in the fight, because he knows Money is that damn good. You can talk all you want but in the end the facts don't lie, and Top Rank is ducking this fight once again. Or, to put it kindly, making the smart business move!

So when Mayweather avoided Cotto and Margarito during those time they were a draw was not a good business move? I call it ducking in its purest form.

What has Floyd has to offer to the public except his 0. When his 0 goes away, his PPV's will drop significantly. He ain't an exciting fighter. What he sells to the public is his 0. People watch him to get defeated but they are bored with his style.

Floyd has more to lose in the Pac fight. If Pac loses, I bet ya many will still watch his PPV's.

So who's ducking who?

Bob is an idiot. I truly loathe this man. I am sure that the Cotto fight is nearly final, and Bob is pretending that they are still trying to make the Floyd fight. It's ridiculous. And this was a horrible interview. Will anyone ask this crackpot the right questions? I am sick of journalists not doing their jobs. Everyone knows Al Haymon is the guy.

And how many times has this fight been discussed between promotions and a fallout occurs because of the split, or the blood testing, or the timing, or the location, or some other crap? Eventually it gets old hearing the same things, and it seems like every excuse comes from one side of the table. That's the only point I'm trying to make. It seems like Mayweather is trying to make the fight, he loves money so why would he not want a payoff of this caliber? The blame can get pushed both ways but Arum does himself no favors with his obvious excuses.

[LeadUppercut]

What Arum doesn't get is that we no longer live in the 70's, 80's, 90's or even the early 2000's. Everything you say can be traced back in a manner of minutes by normal people, via youtube, text on the internet.

They have obviously made a decision privately but are talking a different game publicly for damage control. Except it doesn't work. YOU ARE LIVING IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET. Where every Arm-Chair warrior is a journalist/detective.

Yep, he needs to go space-age with his bull****.

Nobody believes his lying old arse anymore.

A sham is sucker punching an opponent when he isn't looking, twice, when the opponent had a potential to turn things around in the second half of the fight. But Floyd supporters love shams without knowing it, so I cannot reason with them on that subject.
